Body Boss Program So Far

At the beginning of this year I did the 21 Day Fix workout program from Beachbody. Once I finished I still found it hard to workout without a set program. I have mentioned before that I always feel lost at the gym. The only thing I feel like I have down when I am there is cardio. When it comes to weightlifting I get a deer in the headlights look and don’t really know where to start. I began taking attending a few classes during the week after work and really began to enjoy exercises that combined cardio and body weight training. I added some different types of cardio a few times a week and the occasional 21 day fix workout and I had myself a makeshift workout routine that I was able to stick to for a while.

Soon though I began getting bored with what I was doing and I also had some family things come up and I wasn’t working out consistently all the way up to our vacation to Europe in September. Over the course of the vacation we did a lot of walking and a lot of eating and I enjoyed every single minute of it. I knew, though, that once we arrived back home that I wanted to get back to working out again on a more consistent basis.

I had seen advertisements for the Body Boss training program on Facebook and on Instagram for a while and while we were in France I decided that I was going to try it and the day after we got back home I ordered it! My Body Boss journey began on October 16, 2017 with the four week pre-training part of the program. It was hard but I took it day by day and finished four weeks later feeling great. During the time I had started the program my family was going through a really stressful and sad time. For the first time in my life instead of dealing with the stress by eating everything in sight and not working out, I looked forward to my workouts for stress relief. It was my “me time” and allowed me to clear my head and just focus on working out. After every workout I felt better than I did the day before and I have continued to see improvements in my physical strength as well as my mental strength.

Yesterday I finished Cycle 1 of the main program and I am really looking forward what the next 9 weeks have in store for me! The motivation I feel from this program has inspired me to begin planning different workouts for after the 12 weeks are up!
